(if the monitored device is so equipped). With the SIM100, you can rest assured that critical sensors are receiving power, signal wires are connected, and all the safety, security and vessel functions are under constant supervision.
Please consider the following when choosing a mounting location. 1. The SIM100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location. 2. The orientation is not important, so the SIM100 can be mounted on a horizontal deck, vertical bulkhead, or upside down if desired.
Maretron NMEA 2000 cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the SIM100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly.
Figure 2 – NMEA 2000 2.4.2 Switch Connections The SIM100 switch connections are made by connecting to the 12-pin terminal strip on the top of the unit. First, remove the four screws at the corners of the unit detaching the splash guard from the unit.
.4.2.1 Switch With End of Line Resistor Please refer to Figure 3 for connecting the SI This figure shows the connection of the monitored switch to switch channel 1 via the termin named SW1A and SW1B. Connections to other switch terminals are similar.
“Troubleshooting”. 2.5 Configuring the SIM100 The SIM100 will transmit data over the NMEA 2000 network as it is shipped from the factory; however, it may require configuration, depending on the type of switch monitored. There are several configurable items within the SIM100, which are detailed in the remainder of this section.
2.5.10 Restore Factory Defaults Selecting this configuration option causes all stored parameters in the SIM100 to be reset to the values they contained when the unit was manufactured.

Ensure that the switch is connected to the indicator terminals that always reads “Open” that there are no open circuits between the SIM100 and the switch. Measure the resistance between the “A” and “B” terminals for the appropriate indicator. If the switch is open, the resistance should either be an open-circuit, if the indicator is configured as “No End...
